First real world application of fractal camo I've seen on an aircraft.

now THATS what i call camo :jawdrop:
There was a USMC hornet that had a faux fractal paint job for a while. The slovak one looks absolutely badass!
Looks like the real world has just justified whiffers to attempt fractal camoflage on eastern euro aircraft. ^_^
Ssssssmokin' ! Get it ? Smokin' ?
Wicked ! Looks like crappy resolution in the thumbnails, then you click on 'em and WOW !
Nice find...thanks for that one ! I think I'd like to try a CAF Hornet like that.
:party:
Great, but I hope it doesn't become the trend like BOG is now, blimey is that going to be a pain in the backside to paint! Looks like the decal manufacturers are onto a winner. Gekko, any chance??? :thumbsup:
Way cool! :wub: Fractal looks great on this MiG 29 :thumbsup:
Ooooooooooooohhhhhhh!!!!!
:wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:
:wub: :wub: Cor!!!!! :wub:
Just wait till some model is released, in which paint scheme options consist of 2 fractal camo scheme... (HOW DO I PAINT IT! :lol: )

That would actually be pretty straightforward to do using decals - IF one had the decals...

That's a sexy bird. . .
I don't think painting that sort of scheme will be much more difficult than any other, just more time consuming with the fiddly little bits of tape. While the one or two schemes I've tried were nowhere near that detailed, I don't see why you'd have to rely on decals, unless the subject was really small, like 1/144, say.

Hmm... I happen to know someone (sitting in the same chair I happen to be sitting in at the moment) who has recently done some decal work for MRC/Academy ;)

I do hope the Slovak air force will be kind enough to bring it to Brno in September for the annual airshow. :wub:

Oh please do tell! :thumbsup:
Hey Radish, someone stole your idea and put it on a REALLY BIG MODEL !

And they're very naughty.
An advantage with the digi-cam is any colour can be used for re-touches. :wub:
Yes you're right, sort of like the USN did in th eigties when they first got the tac grey camo on the A-7/A-6/F-14.... ever see the Jean-Pierre Montbazet photos - Osprey Colour Series - D*mn, I think they used every possible colour of grey they could find, and when they ran-low, started mixing them all together !!
Ian
mmmm, I love it when the "real" world finally catches up to us What-Iffers!
Damm, that is gorgeous. Best looking cammo I've ever seen on a MiG
Found some more images of Slovakian aircraft in digital camouflage, Mi-17 Hips this time. The colours & camo pretty much follow the original pattern except more 'square' of course & with the cream & black 'flecks' added. It seems that the Slovakian Air Force is rolling this camo type out over the whole fleet.
